The pre-MLK day snow\rain event gave our streams some flow they much needed. We got about an inch of snow which was immediately washed away with rain, bringing stream levels up. The post water level rise bite was tough however. Even though temperatures on the streams i fished were high 30’s and even low 40’s…

EZ Jig Fly
Second fly tying video. First time using the DSLR camera as the recording device of choice. Turnt out much better then the previous attempt using my phone. Anyway, enjoy this jig streamer.
This Watershed Never Gets A Break
This watershed can never catch a break. I would guesstimate in the last 15 years there’s been at-least 5 fish kills. This time, another water main break. My morning survey I would say I counted at-least 200 fish fish dead in just a mere 0.5 mile stretch I walked. Out of those dead fish\section of…

First Tying Video

Freezing Rain and New Streamers
Its only been a week and this is the third outing in 2022. Met up with Andrew and fished from noon till about 4. The bite was on immediately most likely because the this is the first time the fish were being bothered for the day as the weather was horrible. I worked streamers all…
Start of 2022
Going forward in 2022 i’m committing to keeping up with the blog. However its going to be in a different aspect. Since time is what makes it difficult to really document all my outings, definitely when I have a-lot of ad-hoc short ones that are unplanned I’m going to only document high level aspects of…
